Signs to Check in Sunbow Homes
Mold in Sunbow shows the same signs as anywhere else — but it is easy to miss in a busy household. Visible growth on a wall or ceiling, a damp patch, a musty smell, or mold after a leak are the signs that matter. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of the cause. A damp patch can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and mold can grow out of sight behind a wall or under a floor. The visit looks for the cause — the source of the damp and the rooms and materials it has reached — and the work is planned from what is found, because a repair made without finding the cause is a repair that comes back. If you have just moved in, check under sinks, around toilets and behind washing machines first: mold is often found in the first weeks in a new home.

Visit and Inspection — What Happens
A visit in Sunbow starts the way it does everywhere else on this site: the affected rooms are looked at first, then the materials around them — walls, floors, ceilings and cabinets — so the extent of the mold is found before any work is planned.

- Note when the mold first appeared, what you have seen, and any moisture source you know of, such as a leak or a damp patch. A short note of dates and rooms helps the visit start in the right place.
- Do not disturb a large mold area. For an area larger than about 10 square feet, leave it alone and let it be talked through on the call rather than trying to clean it yourself.
